emailing form results – attachments

@matt00Nov 27.2006

I am using the mailer.php to email results from a form, but it doesnt email the attachments for people to attatch files, can it be changed or somthing added to the code so that it can email the atatchments or is there a simple code similar to the mailer.php that I can use?

I dont know much about editing php like what to change…i have tried heaps of them but i dont know if i am changing the right fields to get it to work…if someone could help me out here it would be great.

@matt00authorNov 27.2006 — #well that kinda made me a bit more confussed........

does anyone have a file or code or whaterver that all i have to do is change the email address and link the webpage to the file and it will work with attachments??

@so_is_thisNov 28.2006 — #All you had to do was to follow through on that article and they would give you the class file and examples, too. HINT: Go to the code author's website to download the zip file with examples.

@matt00authorNov 28.2006 — #sorry didnt mean to sound rude......

I downloaded the files and looked at the example one but it had the form saved as a php not htm.....should my form be saved as a php then?

thanx for your help by the way

@so_is_thisNov 28.2006 — #Yes, there are two schools of thought on form processing. One uses an HTML FORM page and submits to a PHP page for processing. The other uses a PHP FORM page which submits to itself for processing and then redirects to a "success" page on completion. I hold to the latter. ?

@matt00authorNov 28.2006 — #well i got it to sort of work....but still problems.....

my form has all address details and other information but when the submit button is clicked all that information doesnt come through in the email.......

am i doing something wrong....

what i did was i got the example page from the zip file and copied the relevant php code and pasted it in the same position in my form page and changed the email address. I also copied over the other files it needs into the same directory.......but somthing isnt right.......how can you help?

@so_is_thisNov 28.2006 — #Post your code.
